I think for the moment that’s a waste of perfectly good wishing energy. Me, I wish for a CIA analyst to come up with an intercept that he or she takes to the department head and they look at each other with a sudden sense of gravity at what they have. As long as we’re wishing for things.

In the mean time Sessions gets away with being less than truthful under oath. And Trump is still President. I am just having a ball enjoying all this stuff

The industrialized world’s energy plan for the 21st century: Harness the sun, the wind and the tides.

America’s energy plan for the 21st century is the same as it was for the 17th century: Set things on fire.

Really, guys, you couldn’t even rewrite the f’ing press release? I guess you learned from your new EPA chief how to cut and paste from oil company-authored correspondence.

And I say this as someone who has spent a lot of years representing international oil companies. They can do a lot of good and generate a lot of jobs while being environmentally and socially responsible, but I sure as hell don’t want them to ever go unregulated or unsupervised.

You’ll forgive me for going OT but any story that describes trumpee raging at “leaks, setbacks and accusations” while wearing a Scotch taped tie gets my immediate attention.

Too stupid to use double sticky tape on the inside where it can’t be seen.

First, I was mad. And then I started to laugh. From CNN interview with John Kelly:

Kelly: “I don’t know anything” about Trump’s wiretapping claims, but he must have “some convincing evidence”

hahahahaha!!!

45,000 jobs sounds a tad bit optimistic. They only had 84000 in 2010–so increasing their work force by over half–all in construction and manufacturing?

seems like someone is cooking the books here.

During the dubya reign old man and I used to refer to him as “too stupid”, which was short for “too stupid to be president”, and I think I’m going to have to update that to “too stupid too.”

@chelsea530 Did he mention if he was still considering separating women and their children in order to hinder their terrorist impulses?

@coprophagoussmile “reports that are out there.” Indeed.
